I HAVE A SON!!

MARCH 26, 2018

Nyob zoo family!!! Sorry this might be a little shorter, my tablet hasn't been working all day... well, more like all week, haha, and the wifi at our house like stopped working but it is ok, things are still good cuz it started working again. But this past week was awesome!!! Tuesday, I said goodbye to Elder Gunsay, which was pretty sad. I miss him. He's a good guy. But then I went with Elder Bishop, which was a good time. Best 2 day companionship there ever was, haha. We found like 2 new investigators and 2 potentials in 2 days. It was awesome. Then Thursday, Elder Bishop and I headed down south to Antelope and picked up our new companions, and holy cow, I love Elder Vang. So his name is Nephi Vang and he's Hmong and like pretty dang good at Hmong, way better than me. I love him so much. So in mission language, when you train someone, they are your son, so he is my son now, haha. It's lots of fun. We had 2 lessons Thursday night which was a good time. 

Friday was district meeting. Elder Vang got to meet everyone which was fun. Then we went shopping after that cuz he didn't have any food. Elder Vang likes to make stir fry, and he even made me some which was way nice. We had that for lunch today. Way good, but super spicy. Then we had like 1 lesson Friday, not much time cuz we have like an extra hour every day to study now to train him. Saturday was way cool. We had a language training meeting with all of the language missionaries. It was way cool. They mostly just taught us about lesson planning, but they gave us this huge binder to write lesson plans in. Gonna be a super big resource, especially for the language. We had like no time on Saturday though, but we were going to try and contact this Hmong person, but then I got the impression to stop real quick and try this other Hmong couple that Elder Gunsay and I met, and they were home (we haven't caught them home since December), and we had an awesome lesson, and mostly Elder Vang talked which was awesome. They seem like super prepared, and we got their phone number now so that was awesome. 

Sunday was church. Everyone was super excited to meet Elder Vang. The branch especially. They all loved him and he translated the whole time, which made me happy, haha. We also were able to meet a really cool less active Hmong family, the one we went to the birthday party last week, but they said they would come to church!!! So meanless to say that was awesome. And then my gmail got fixed so we are just so blessed. 

I love you guys all so much. This week I was really stressed, but literally every single time I didn't know what to do, I said a prayer and God definitely helped me and Elder Vang. I feel like He really guided us this week. God uses imperfect people to do his work, and I just definitely feel inadequate sometimes, but then I remember that God called me, and when I ask, He will guide me. I am so so so stoked for General Conference this weekend. I love re-listening to conference, and am so excited for some new material. I invite you all to think of a question and take it to conference. You'll receieve a specific answer just for you!! Love you guys!!

Love, Elder Muaj Koob
